Yes, Bill, You Are a Shithead
Last night's episode of One Week to Save Your Marriage featured Jersey City couple Bill and Madeline.
For those of you who've never heard of One Week to Save Your Marriage, and we're guessing that's probably everyone who didn't pass by their production set, then you need to know its a reality show featuring Doctor Robi Ludwig, you guessed it, putting back together bad marriages. One Week is alot like Shalom in the Home, except without the kitch factor of Rabbi Shmuley or a streamlined camper trailer.
The only reason we know about this One Week is that for ten days or so, the production crew was setup outside a bar a block from our own residence. This really wouldn't have concerned us at all except that the crew apparently needed a half dozen parking spaces for their precious trailer. So yeah, we already had a bad taste in our mouth when Bill showed us just exactly why his marriage is falling apart.
As luck would have it, the Saturday afternoon that Dr. Robi was telling Bill and his pretty little wife that they soon would have to decide whether they should stay together or not, also happened to be the Saturday afternoon that some co-workers and I were sitting around drinking glasses of wine at the local bar Bill and his wife lived above. We had a brief conversation with some other fellow bar folks. And then the bar tender call last call on the bathrooms as the as yet unamed television show was going to spend an hour or so filming in the backroom.
Great, everyone thought, sipping their pints, just what drinkers don't want access to after three or four hours of drinking. This of course got everyone talking about what was so important they needed to close the bathrooms down. After someone revealed that the show was "One Week to Save Your Marriage," the other drinkers in the bar began to discuss the merits of working out a marriage via reality television show. And that's when Bill showed up to explain why his marriage was falling apart.
Bill suffers from the Napoleon complex and has severe issues with anger management. He briefly explained to the entire bar that he was "TRYING TO SAVE [HIS] MARRIAGE" and then kindly asked us to the shut the hell up. We couldn't possibly understand what he was going through. He was very sincere and taking the whole "saving his marriage" bit very seriously. Needless to say we didn't need a degree to know why his marriage was falling apart; Bill is a rage-a-holic.
Meanwhile, the show concluded with Bill and Madeline agreeing to stay together. That's great, but Bill, just in case things don't work out, either because your wife files for divorce or because you have a rage blackout and end up killing a man, let us know; we liked the apartment.
